Quick Story

You wouldn't believe what IMB launched at the "Think 2018" conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. For the very first time in the world, take a look at the Earth's smallest computer ever created by the tech giant IBM. It's just 1mm x 1mm in size, about the same size as your smartphone home button. Shocked much?

Don't get dismayed by its size for it has a processor power of the 90's IBM desktop computers. Unbelievable, right? The device includes uncountable 'transistors, a live memory, and a photovoltaic power supply'.

Can you guess where we can use the device? Apparently, it can be used instead of bar-codes, price tags or maybe even to track your packages right from the moment it's shipped till it reaches you. Also, it'll also help in verifying the authenticity of online products, ensuring if it has been meddled with or not. A MUST!

This is what the company had to say about its pricing. "The world’s smallest computer is an IBM-designed edge device architecture and computing platform that is smaller than a grain of salt will cost less than ten cents to manufacture and can monitor, analyse, communicate and even act on data." Less than 10 cents! That's technically less than our 100 paise (Does even exist?).
